How was Christmas?

12-29-2018, 08:59 PM

All the kids were home this year, possibly the last time for a while as they are all headed in different directions in their lives. It was a great Christmas for the family. No drama, as a couple of in-laws were specifically excluded.

I've got a Klim Latitude but it's a bit too big for me now (know anybody looking for a barely used XXL?) and the Alpinestars touring boots are nice but wanted something with some real support for my occasional attempts at pretending a 600lb pig is a dirt bike.

Christmas, as always, was exhausting. My wife's parents are divorced, so we have a minimum of 4 Christmases every year; one with each of the grandparents, and one at home by ourselves. Needless to say, I don't look forward to Christmas much anymore.

I got 2500 LC .223 cases. That was the only shooting related gift. I ended up getting a small camera drone suitable for indoor flying from my parents. The in-laws got me a larger outdoor camera drone. Both are way nicer than the cheap little quadcopters I have been playing with for the past couple years, but neither are so nice I'll be afraid to fly it for fear of wrecking. I have zero interest in one of 4 figure camera drones. They take beautiful photos and videos, but I'd be sick to my stomach if I ever crashed one.
